Happy Monday!


Bubble Bath Time For The Silly Big Brother!!!


Hey everyone! Sorry I didn't update on Tuesday. Things are a little busier with two kids. Eli weighed 6lbs 7oz at the doctor on Tuesday. I have really noticed in the last couple of days that he is really growing. He is eating great and sleeping well and overall just being a great baby! Colby is still being a precious big brother too.

Shad took Colby deer hunting this weekend at his Uncle Jimmy's. Colby HAD to take his toy gun to shoot the deer with. So Shad and Colby are sitting in the deer stand and out come some does. Shad shoots one, hits it and it runs off a ways before dying. Then Colby cocks his gun and pretends to shoot one. They found Shad's deer but Colby's version of the story is a little different. He says they found his deer but they couldn't find Daddy's deer. So Colby is so proud that he killed a deer.

Kids are so much fun! We are so blessed that God would trust us with two precious boys!

I am back at work now - ugh! Wouldn't it be nice if money just grew on trees? It's not so bad though. Eli is with me and Colby will be with me sometimes and with Mrs. Martha and Mr. Jack sometimes.

So that's about it! Keep us in your prayers!

Love,
Casey

Eli on his first day home!!!


Hey everyone! Well we made it home Saturday morning and it's been a busy week. Sorry I am just now updating! I just know you are DYING for more pictures of my boys!!! Haha!

We got home Saturday and had several special visitors, including big cousins, Presley and Braden, and we went to church on Sunday morning for the first time and received a very warm welcome. On Sunday night, my brother Brent, Jennifer and the kiddos came in to meet their new cousin! So we pretty much hung out at Mom's the first part of the week with them. We really enjoyed our time together. Colby had so much fun playing with his cousins! They headed home Wednesday morning and we have tried to take it easy but you know, that just never happens. We've worked a little and played alot and we are just loving life with our family!

Colby has adjusted so well. He absolutely loves Eli and doesn't want anyone to even mention taking him home with them. He wants him with us at all times! (And SO DO I!!!) He just talks to him all the time and wants to lay by him and hold him. He is such a great big brother!

Eli is sleeping very well. He wakes up about every 4-5 hours to eat at night and goes right back to sleep. He is a wonderful baby so far! So that's about it - we are doing great! I take Eli back to his pediatrician on Tuesday and I will let you know how that goes! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!!

Love,
Casey
